description

The three meter high and two meter wide window no. 0 in the center of the choir comes from an unknown workshop. It shows a crucifixion scene with the crucifixion of Jesus on three lancets, with Mary on the left and the apostle John on the right with other disciples. Mary Magdalene has wrapped her arms around the cross. At the lower edge, the founder and the founder can be seen kneeling with their children. In the tracery , God the Father is represented surrounded by angels who hold the arm of Christ in their hands.

The window was restored by the Claude Courageux studio in Crèvecœur-le-Grand after 1918 .
